The first thing to do was move of terminal emulator. The choosen was the iTerm. iTerm is a full featured terminal emulator fully written in Cocoa with some cool features that aren't present in default Terminal.

iTerm have a lot of nice things, but mine favorite is your capability of open in fullscreen by default, this is amazing because, as i've a second display and i can open the iTerm in fullscreen in one display and use the other to browse and make other things.

Other thing that i'm dating to a long time is the ZSH. ZSH is in short words a interactive unix command prompt, that is a evolution of old Bash and that brings a lot of new features that doing your day to day in front of one black screen much more pleasant. Snow Leopard (not know if Leopard also have) already coming with the ZSH and you don't need install anything to start to use it.

Together with ZSH, i'm using a package created by Robby Russell called oh-my-zsh. This package of scripts (and themes) have everything you'd probably write manually in the next days using the your new shell.

One other change that i did was use Homebrew in replacement to Macports how my official package manager and it use exclusively the RVM to manage all Ruby versions at my system.

This are some screenshots of iTerm with ZSH and the oh-my-zsh.

A little trick to enable ZSH only in iTerm is create a new bookmark (cmd+shift+b) and add the "/bin/zsh" in the end of command as shown in image bellow.

For more info about ZSH follow the @zshtips in Twitter or give a look in the screencasts series (Hello ZSH) in Fosscasts (free) or in PeepCode (paid) screencasts about Advanced Command Line.

Happy hacking.

Go to /srv folder and does download of UFW (ufw_0.29.3-1_all.deb) deb package from http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/UFW/download, pick a link or just copy the line bellow:

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/UFW/UFW_0.29.3-1_all.deb

UFW has some dependencies that should be satisfied before install it, they're: python2.5 or greater, python-central 0.6.11 or greater and ucf. Generally python and python-central are installed when you perform your first apt-get dist-upgrade. In case of python-central already is installed, uninstall it and download other version with the latest python-central package (python-central_0.6.14 nmu2_all.deb):

# first uninstall the current python-central

sudo apt-get purge python-central

# now pick up the latest package from debian sid repositories

wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-central/python-central_0.6.14 nmu2_all.deb

# now install python-central_0.6.14 nmu2_all.deb with

sudo dpkg -i python-central_0.6.14 nmu2_all.deb

# install ucf

sudo apt-get install ucf

Made this you already have all necessary dependencies to instal UFW, now just type the lines bellow:

sudo dpkg -i ufw_0.29.3-1_all.deb

After the install you can now setting up your firewall rules easily with UFW. For more details about UFW ufw -help or visite this page.

I liked many things on this website, but the "Todos Produtos" menu was who took more my attention. Inspired on it I tried build a menu like it using just jQuery, html and css.

The secret is on css and html, it are who do go give all structure for jQuery work, in addition of the jQuery, i used some others plugins to achieve the result more close of original. They are jQuery UI and jQuery Easing.

This's all jQuery code necessary:

$(function() {

$("#geral dl dt").addClass('open').toggle(
	function() {
		$("#geral dl").animate( { height: 160 }, { duration: 500, easing: 'easeOutQuint' } );
		$("#geral dl dt").removeClass('open').addClass('close');
	},
	function() {
		$("#geral dl").animate( { height: 34 }, { duration: 500, easing: 'easeOutQuint' } );
		$("#geral dl dt").removeClass('close').addClass('open');
	}
);

$("#geral dl").hover(null, function() {
	$(this).animate( { opacity: 1 }, 300).animate( { height: 34 }, { duration: 500, easing: 'easeOutQuint' } );
	$("#geral dl dt").removeClass('close').addClass('open');
});

$("#geral dl dd").hover(onOver, onOut);

});

function onOver () {
	$(this).animate( { backgroundColor: "#00aeef" }, 200 )
	$(this).children().animate( { color: "#ffffff", left: '5px' }, 200);
	$(this).next().animate( { opacity: 1, left: '189px' }, 200 );
}

function onOut() {
	$(this).animate( { backgroundColor: "#e7e7e7" }, 200 )
	$(this).children().animate( { color: "#333333", left: '10px' }, 200);
	$(this).next().animate( { opacity: 0, left: '-100px' }, 50 );
}

If you're curious of how the rest of the code should be for get this menu, does download of the source code and look with your own eyes.

You still can see it in action here. ( Tested on Safari 4.04 Firefox 3.5.5 and Camino 2.0.1  for mac )

Bye.

Note: This source code haven't intention of support all browsers, it's just a experiment, if you want use this code feel yourself free to download, improve it and use him. Any support not will be provide.

The first is De MonsterDebugger designed by De Monsters a Nederlands design studio, this incredible and  useful application coming to solve a bit the debug problems than Flash users have, when are developing a project using Flash authoring tool or same for those than using FDT, Flashdevelop or Eclipse/Flex Builder. This tool has shown itself much more interesting for debug your applications.

The second is pointed to Rails users, than thus like me has use SQLite3 on begun of a project. Rails users appreciate the terminal usage, but i think than, they feel much more pleasant with Lita.

Lita give us a graphic interface with some features, than are useful to manage SQLite databases.

I'm currently working with several different technologies in the day to day. The name of this blog have a link with this, because La Miscela characterize the mix of technologies than are making part of my life.

Well i'm a happy mac user, and was inspired at leopard default folder, than i solved do this folders to organize my projects more easily. 

Look the folders and more below you can download the package with this six samples.

Download: folders

Ps: The AS3 Folder was built using a concept logo for actionscript suggested by a user on the web, i not remember where i saw this logo, but if you know who are, contact me for than i could give the credits for creator.

Django is a great web framework than works with Python how your main language.

I knew Django chatting with a friend to some months, about the similarities between Ruby and Python and the facilities than Rails was bringing to my life, immediately my friend ask me: Do you know Django? I answer, humn!

Coming in house, i was looking for something about Django and i see than, thus as, Rails become the most famous and utilized Ruby framework, Django was the same, just it for Python.

The railers know the Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby, a online book than learn Ruby of fun way and than is being written. Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby have gained much collaborators, than are doing translations and images to illustrate the book.

Following this style,  (really i didn't know, who followed style of who), Mario Brandão released your online book, Aprendendo Django, thus as, the Ruby book, it still is being written, but already have 29 chapters for who want read, teaching with a fun history and characters a bit about Django and Python.

If you choose Python how your agile web language, check out the book, i don't have doubts than, you'll appreciate much.

Ps.: The book was originally written in Brazilian Portuguese, but i think than Google translate can be useful on this time.
